As the title says - heard this from my local dealer today. Anyone else heard similar? And the bug eyes are definitely on the way out.....

boultsy

sorry harry but

only makes me think of one thing.

sniff, sniff

Harry_Boy

Well - resigned to keeping it at least ten years now..... (not that I mind Mate!).

yoza

Its OK we can group buy 6 speed boxes and keep our ugly cars

Harry_Boy

Just group buy the cogs and blu tac 'em to the 'box, Yoza.

boultsy

It's probably true, the 6 speed would be a natural progression, now the STi boys have road tested it for us

as for your wagon, just think of it as a limited addition

Harry_Boy

PS. Could have strangled the dealer when they told me :0(

Harry_Boy

Limited edition Boultsy? Must be the aerodynamic splashguard kit and rear bumper protector.....

boultsy

did someone mention a group buy

Harry_Boy

How about a group buy of rumours?

boultsy

must be, yeh our buglies will be worth a mint in 10 years, that'll turn mr lewis in his grave.

Harry_Boy

Yup - plastic add ons AND gold wheels.....

boultsy

thats assuming he'll be dead. Iam right in thinking he's 92...aren't I???

As for the rumour group buy, I think someone my have already started one harry, try looking in Dealers and Third Party suppliers

yoza

Are they changing the whole shape or just the front end
Itll only be lights bumper and pos bonnet i reckon,seen loads of so called re-vamps coming thro Fords/Jaguar usually cosmetics for the "keep up with the Joneses" brigade

Harry_Boy

Just a sec Boultsy - need to open another Window (Browser that is, not UPVC).

Harry_Boy

Keeping me on the old tootsies here Yoza..... I think it's just a cosmetic revamp (apart from the 'box). Hence, no significant sheet metal changes. As per the Classic, in the early days.....

boultsy

yoza don't even go there

yoza

Why......What?
what did I say???

boultsy

No one knows, not even FHI it's so secret

Harry_Boy

Dealer source reckons it's the front end (quel surprise.....)

Harry_Boy

"As for the rumour group buy, I think someone my have already started one harry, try looking in Dealers and Third Party suppliers".

Boultsy - I looked but couldn't find, as they say.....

yoza

Ill bet on just the front end......
cosmetics for an easy fix and a boost in sales.
There you go,from some one who works in the industrie
Quick simple third party mods,plastics lights etc.
Deffo no new panel tooling its not the done thing on a new(12mnth)
model release.
The 6 speed box theyve already got,no big deal....just get the stacker to pick up a different box

Harry_Boy

Typical mass produced built in obsolescence tactics. No surprise there then.....

boultsy

If they could play around with the bonnet and grill that would give them quite a bit of flexibility with regards to the shape of the light units.

yoza

Did you know that the x type is not mass produced........
even tho they spit them out one every 2 mins?
how many scoobs must thet churn out?

Harry_Boy

Did they alter the sheet metal on the bonnet & wings on the first Classic shape facelift?

Harry_Boy

So Yoza - what's the definition of 'mass produced'? And do you still not like the X-Type, Mate?

iTrader: (1)

if u want a group buy, POC is your man!! just don't expect to get the product for a few years!!!!!! ho ho ho

Harry_Boy

How long would it take POC to come up with a rumour? And would it have Evo written on it?

boultsy

Umm a year old rumour, sorry no that doesn't interest me.

Harry, with regards to the bonnet change, hold on I'll just get my scooby scrap book out from under my anorak
